“CAMP HORROR."
An Incident of One Wild Night
Among the Indians.
The Terrible Mistake Made by
a Vigilant Sentinel.
You will wonder, ot comic, why a
soldior’s camp should have received
such a name, but it is on the military
records, and no man will ever attempt
to explain it to you without grieving
over tho recollections aroused thereby.
It was out in the Indian country, on
tho Kansas frontier, when the red
mon were making such a fight against
the troops sent out after tho closo of
the rebellion. They had swooped
down on tho Sinoky Hill stage route
and scalped and slaughtered right and
left, and our command had been hur¬
ried forward to protect such settlers
ns might have escaped and to open tho
route again. Day after day the red
men hovered on our Hanks, and night
after night they crept upon us liko
serpents and sent their silent arrows
iuto camp to find livtug targets.
One night, when the day had been
full of excitement, and when itfcemcd
as if the Sioux had determined to
retreat no further, the sentinels were
warned to extra vigilance. We know
that peril menaced us, and wo who
stood sentry after midnight peered
into the darkness with bated breath
and were ready to fire at the first sus¬
picious sound. At one o’clock I
thought I beard a light footstep on
Die gra-is. It was a dark night, with
now and then a gust of wind sweeping
up with loncsomo sound, and I could
*ot be sure I heard aright.
I waited, with linger on tho trigger,
ready to fnc if I heard the footstep
again, but it did not come to me.
Scarcely ten minutes had passed when
tho sentinel on my right, who was
only thirty feet away, tired iuto tho
darkness. The report of his carbine
had not died away when a loud, wild
scream rang out upon tho night, and
every man who heard it knew that it
was uttered by a woman.
It is a good many years back to that
night, but 1 remember every incident
as well as if only a week had passed.
Now and then I liavo dreamed of it,
and that scream has aroused me and
taken all my nerve. As soon as wo
could investigate we found an amazing
thing—a woman lying dead on tho
grass with a year-old baby in her arms I
Tho sentinel had shot her dead iu her
tracks, but the baby was still aslcop,
with one of her arms hugging it to
her breast. Wo looked and looked,
and it was hard to believe wo saw
aright. It was a settler’s wife, as was
afterwards known, who had escaped
a massacre moro titan forty miles
away. She had wandered around for
live days, suffering with hunger and
thirst, and had no doubt becomo
crazed with anxiety and exhaustion.
There was none but old veterans in
that camp, but there wore tears in all
eyes when that poor dead body was
brought into camp, and when tho
wakened baby cried witli fright and
hunger and held out its litllo hands to
the very trooper who had tired upon
the mother. No ono could blame him
in the least but ho blamed himself.
When he realized what lie had dono ho
turned away from us without a word
and walked away a9 men walk in their
sleep. When he washed the mothor’s
life-blood off - the baby’s hands, and
tho Colonel himself was feeding it
with the gruel hastily prepared, when
there came another shot and another
alarm. Tho trooper had gone just
without the lines of the camp and fired
a bullet into his own heart. Remorse
had driven him to it.
Somewhere iu the West that boy
baby, now grown to manhood, still
lives, but tho two graves we dug next
morning wore yenrs ago obliterated
from all sight but that of God. At
the last great day ho will awaken tho
dust of their dead.—[M. Quad in New

•‘Stone of Destiny.”
Tho “Stone of Destiny” was a large
block of stone, concerning which ac¬
counts aro very conflicting. Accord¬
ing to one authority it was taken lo
Ireland, from somo other plaeo not
mentioned, by Tualhn nn Danaan and
60 t up in Tara. The stone was there,
fore famous for its appearance in Irish
history, for on it the kings of Tara
were enthroned. It was removed to
Scotland by Fergus, who placed it in
Albany, but about the year 840, tho
first definite date in its history, it was
removed to Scone. Iu both placos it
fulfilled the same purpose that it
served in Tara,as a throne of the newly
crowned king, and a tradition con-
corning it became current that the seat
of empire would abide with it. In
1296 it was captured by Edward I. and
taken to Lom&j^vkere it was placed
iu the coronationchair. All the sover¬
eigns of England from that time have
been enthroned upon it, aud a rever¬
ence is entertained for it that Ameri¬
cans find difficult of comprehension.
Ihc most ancient legend connected
witli it declares it to be the stone on
which Jacob placed his head when
lying down to the sleep in which his
famous vision occurred. — [Boston

CUT 8WRET COUN FODDER EAUI.T.
After the swcot corn crop is gath¬
ered there should bo no delay in cut¬
ting and stacking tiic fodder. If it
has a few nubbins of ears on it do not
wait for them to ripen. They are
worth nothing fr* seed, and nre worth
more for feed if dried with tho cut
stalk while it is full of juice. — [Bos¬
ton Cultivator.
FEED FOR ENRICHING MII.K.
To enrich milk, foods rich in fats
are required. There is a large supply
of such food substances ns cornmenl,
which is tho staple and mo-t reliable
of ail; cot Ion-seed meal, rico meal,
brewers’ grains, gluten meal, and
others, which are to bo bought in the
market. These may be fed in quan¬
tity from six to twelve pounds a day
ns acow may be found to cat and di¬
gest it healthfully, but at first care is
to bo taken not to overfeed or mis¬
chief may bo caused.—[Xcw Y’ork
Times.
CULTURE OF GERANIUMS.
The gernninin is a universal favor¬
ite, and no plant is more deserving of
popularity. It is easily propagated
from cuttings. Tho cutting* should
never be cut from tho old plants, but
broken almost oil ami then left for
several hours until the sap lias dried.
A place shaded from tho noonday sun
and well drained is tho best in which
to start them. I have a rocky mound
on the north side of a largo pine tree
where I start my cuttings, says a
writer in tho Housekeeper. I water
them when first planted, tlien give a
small quantity of water in the evening.
If they uro too wet they will rot. In
about ten days they will bo rooted;
then they are ready to bo transplanted
in pots or in open beds. If geraniums
aro desired for winter blooming they
should be kept in the shade during tho
Summer and have all the buds picked
off, since they, liko all other plants,
require a season of rest. An open
border for geraniums should bo pre¬
pared as follows: One-third good
garden soil, one-third sand and one-
third well rotted manure. In watering
plants bo careful not to pour any
water on tho foliage. That is the
great secret of success iu cultivating
them. To keep them iu constant
bloom water them occasionally with
liquid manure or water in which old
coffee grounds have been boilod.
RAISING CALVES.
About tho poorest use a calf can bo
put to, thinks an Ohio farmer-corres¬
pondent, is to kill it at its birth, as Is
sometimes dono for iho sake of the
skin aud the milk of (lie cow. In the
first place (lie skin of tho calf killed at
that timo will bo much inferior as
leather to that of a veal skin; and,
second, tho raising of a calf, if only
for veal, at the present prices for
meat, must givo moro profit than can
be derived from the milk it would
consume, in any other way. The
early ago at which heifers can bo
brought into the dairy and the demand
for good cows should make tho raising
of heifer calves especially far moro
profitable than tho killing of them at
any age can he. In raising calves for
beef it is now pretty well understood
that wo cannot compote successfully
with the prairie State*.
Nevertheless, whon good bcof can
be made from two-year-olds, and even
younger, it does seem that there ought
to bo a paying demand for them from
butchers in tho smaller towns, if not
in tho cities. By (caching calves to
feed themselves, which is easily done
if taken at once from tho cow, they
can be raised without giving thorn
much whole milk, except for the fiivt
week or two, after which skimmed
milk, if warmed with a little meal
stirred in if, may bo gradually substi¬
tuted for it. After a few weeks they
will begin to pick at the grass, and if
kept in a little pasture lot by them-
helves, and fed twice a day, I believe
the gain from thorn will bo as great a 9
from any other young animals, unless
it bo pigs.—[New York World.
RESULTS OF FEEDING ROOTS.
Carrots are bettor adapted for horses,
producing a sleek coat, healthy appear¬
ance and good appotito. A horse get¬
ting n mess of them every night sel¬
dom requires medicine. Sheep that
have a fair share of turnips or man-
gles through tho winter and spring
Boltlom lose their wool before shear¬
ing. Tho ewes have stronger Iambs
and a bettor flow of milk that brings
•hem on faster and earlier for the
market, and the whole flock go upon
grass in good condition. Milch cows
give a larger flow of milk and richer
in quantity, which means more butter
and better calves. Tho old cows
can bo made into excellent
beef. Tho young cattle can be
brought into value much sootier and
with more profit. The manure pile
wid be much larger and of better
qiiali.A. One mini in Ontario a few
\ t >• - ago ago raised 20,000 bushels of
tin nips. A neighbor said lo him:
-M.’. ! ., t u had l etter sell 1000

No, he “1 want them alt fn i
on the I mm lo go into manure. And
he fed nil of diem, l’urms On which

1111110 pioduciive every year. The
d;t ljm m s;q they would dispose of
their cowb if tlief could not have
tho roots for them. Thoie who feed
cattlo for expor^ nay they could not
do it with a profit without them. Ono
man nays: “I could not eddeate my
children as I do if it were not for
roots." And numbers of others tell
us they linvo lifted mortgages that
they could not have done otherwise.

WHAT IS A GOOD COW' WORTH?
Hoard’s Dairyman says: “The cow
that can mnko 600 pounds of butter
in a year is worth full $500 ns an in¬
vestment; for her calf, if well sirod,
is worth all it costs to keep tho mothei
a year.”
At first glance it might scorn that
this was not true, but when wo come
to iuquiro into tho business wo fin 1
that it is true that, as a business invest¬
ment, acow that will make 500 pounds
of butter in a year is well worth $500.
Tho butter ut tho low average price of
twenty-five cents a pound would bo
worth $125, or at thirty cents it would
be worth $150.
Five hundred pounds is about tho
yield of four scrub cows, and we only
have the ono cow to feed, milk and
care for generally. Of course she
will eat a lot of feed, but that is no
objection at all; in dairying we use
cows to convert feed into milk.
As there is just so much butter in a
bushel of feed, if we can get it out
more profitably by feeding it to ono
cow instead of to three or four we
make that much gain, because in the
one case we have ouly ono cow to sup¬
ply with a life ration, whilo in the
other we have three or four.
And there is one other point to
which we wish to call attention, that
if we have a few extra good cows, in¬
stead of a largo lot of average ones,
the risk of loss is less by the various
diseases to which cows arc subject If
we only liavo ten good cows the losses
would, in all probability, be less, in
proportion, than if wo had twenty or
thirty average cows, for we could—
and no doubt would—givo the ten
cows moro personal attention than tho
larger lot of (lie others ; it holds good
in all cases that wo give better care to
that which pays us best.
To go back; while we would not
advise tho purchase of cows for dairy
work at $500 per head (though a 500-
pound cow is worth it) yet wc would
adviso tho purchase off; extra good
cows at an extra price rather than to
buy average cows at an average price.
Each one must be governed by his own
circumstahces in regard to experience
in handling cows, making and mar¬
keting buttor, and all that pertains to
fifst-class dairying as to what price he
shall pay for cows, but he must under¬
stand one thing plainly, that a cow
must be up to a certain standard in
order to pay any profit. When she
goes beyond that standard she rapidly
increases in value until finally we
nrrivo at the cow that will make 500
pounds of butter in a year and be
worth as an investment $500.— [Farm

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
The good shocker breaks the cap.
sheaf very thoroughly. Tho closer it
fits to the shook the better it serves its
purpose and the surer it will hold its
p’aee.
If tho head of tho cap-sheaf is
placed toward tho prevailing wind, or
the quarter from which storms come
oftenest, tho chances of its beiug dis¬
lodged are much loss.
Tho plough that “holds hard” is not
properly set When set level and tine,
and the trncos properly adjusted, it
does tho best work, runs easiest for
the team, and “almost holds itself.”
Plants got moro water directly
from the subsoil than from tho
clouds. Mulch the soil on top by cnl.
tivaiion and the water will rtin up.
We are here to direct forces.
It doe9 not pay to have the hogs
glean the harvest field. Either tho
harvesting has been extravagantly
done, or else tho hogs will walk off
moro flesh than they will gain.
One Man’s Method of Enjoyment.
A New \ork Commercial Advertiser
reporter dropped into a furnishing aud
clothing store on Nassau street the
oilier day and saw ono of tho salesmen
busily engaged with a well-dressed,
portly old gentleman of benign ex¬
pression, who held a boy, ragged and
unelcau by tho bund. A few moments
later that urchin was taken into a
dressing-room, from which ho soon
appeared, clad from head to foot in
clothes such as he probably never
dared lo hope to ever possess. Hat
and shoes, necktie and handkerchiefs
completed tho present to tho little fel¬
low, who was also given underwear
enough to last six months. Tho old
man and the ind lie had befriended
disappeared and tho reporter asked
for a little information. “Why,” said
tho salesman, “it is the delight of that
man to clothe ragged street Arabs. I
suppose he comes in hero or goes into
some other storo down town two or
three times a week with a poor boy iu
tow, who is soon transformed into a
decent-looking lad. It's his hobby,
and a good one, too, I think. Don’t
you? He can afford it, aud I believe
dm solid enjoyment he gets out of Ids
j> c t way of getting rid of some of his
surplus money is much greater than
;;.. 0 pleasure many a rich rnan ffcdi in

has held substantially true the world
orer, until within the last one hundred
years, and the most convincing proof of
this is the character of the books of the

HOW TO GET WELL
o a question of vital importance,
but it is equally important that you
use some harmless remedy;
many people completely wreck their health
by taking mercury and potash mixtures,
for pimples and blotches, or some othel
trivial disease. S. S. S. is purely
vegetable containing no mercury
or poison of any kind. And is at the
same time an infallible cure for skin diseases.

Nothing can be said

most worthless. In one case, it’g
true; in the distinguish other, it isn’t;—but’how
can you ?
Judge by what is done. Thero’s
only one blood-purifier that’s guar¬
anteed. It’s Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery—and this is what
is done with it; if it doesn’t benefit
or cure, in every case, you get your
money back. Isn’t it likely to bo
the best?
All the year round, as well at ono
timo as another, it cleanses and pur-
ifies tho system. All blood-poisons
must go. For Dyspepsia, Bilious-
ness, Scrofula, Salt-rheum, Tetter,
Erysipelas, or any blood-taint or dis¬
order, it is an unequaled remedy.
It’s the cheapest, too. With this,
only for ’
you pay the good you get,
And nothing else is “just as good.”
It may be better—for the dealer.
But he isn’t the one that’s ' to bo
